I was about 5 when Carter got his ouster from office, and the guy hasn't shut up since.... Kinda like a Human Cicada that won't die...and without the 17 years or so between noises...

Carter proved more adept at killing Americans through his dithering fecklessness (e.g., the hostage recuse attempt that he doomed to failure by shirking to commit sufficient resources to it) than he did at protecting them.

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jimmy Carter said on Friday.
And another thing, it speaks volumes about Carter that he was (admittedly, they admit it) awarded the "Peace Prize" as a barb to the Bush Administration and he happily accepted it. Ya know, I would like to win lots of prizes, but if I didn't earn them and the people told me openly that they were just giving me a prize to get someone elses goat I would tell them to take their prize and sit on it.
What kind of mentality would find happiness in such ill gotten gain? Could you be happy about this? It would piss me off so bad and I would raise such a stink there would BE NO "Nobel Peace Prize" from that day forward.. And if it did survive it would be so tainted as to carry an implcit insult to the "winner" with it every, single time it was awarded..
How the hell could any normal person avoid being insulted by something like this?

He should be asked how long a warrantee came with that N.Korea Peace Prize he got as a criticism of the Bush White House. When Bush engages N. Korea (next), it will remain dark at night for a long time. Tony Blair said N. Korea is next, a few days ago.

Carter's (and IMFPOTUS Clinton's) abandonment of the tradition in which former Presidents do not criticize their successors, especially on foreign policy, stand in sharp contrast to the behavior of former Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and G.H.W. Bush.
If all of this comes down as we anticipate, the Democrats will be finished for a generation -- it will put them in a position as marginal as they were after the Civil War and before the election of 1876.

Jimmy Carter ... one term governor of Georgia, one term President of the United States ... once again he re-inforces why he is held in such low regard.

Pity me, every time I go grocery shopping I have to drive by the Carter Center. I'm proud to say I never voted for Carter, not even when he ran for governor.

IT IS NOT ABOUT THE CASE MADE, IT IS ABOUT MAKING THE CASE!!!! SWATING THE PLACE TO FIND OUT THE EVIDENCE!!! EVIL MAN, EVIL CARTER WHO PREVENTS PEOPLE FROM FINDING THE TRUTH ON PROBABLE CAUSE!!!!
the higher they go, the harder they will fall. the more evil they go, the sicker and more hopeless their case will be. the more time they claim and take from others, the more evidence and crime counts we will have against them.
The clock is ticking carter, every minute you take is a count of felony of time stealing for adding nothing, not a single ounce of truth or original argument to the soup!!! THey shall pay and I will be glad to play the game and not give up.

You are fortunate to have missed the "malaise" of the Carter years: inflation so bad mortgage interest rates were in excess of 15%; unemployment in double digits; the practice of buying as much as possible this week because prices were going up next week; and a pervasive attitude in the US that our best days were over.
All that was topped by the helplessness of the Iranian hostage situation--a President who made one half-hearted attempt at rescue and was afraid to confront the mullahs.
Thank God for Ronald Reagan! His policies not only got the economy going strong, he restored the confidence and pride of Americans, empowering us for the future. One shudders to think of what we would now be like without him.
Anyone who wasn't alive or aware at that time may find the descriptions difficult to believe, but they are unfortunately true. I hope no American has to experience any president like Carter or Clinton again.
